| Nov 16, 2015 06:19 AM EST

Celta Vigo's Pablo Hernandez (L) competes for the ball against Barcelona's Javier Mascherano.

Deportivo La Coruna (3-2-6, 15 points) and Celta Vigo (6-2-3, 21 points) is scheduled to face each other for a 2015-2016 La Liga week 12 encounter at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor on November 21st, Saturday.

Deportivo had been winless in their last five games with four draws and a loss since their week 6 win over Real Betis last September 24.

Their most recent match was a 1-1 draw with cellar-dwelling club Levante at the Estadi Ciutat de València on November 7th, as per Soccerway.

Brancoazuis' Spanish winger Lucas scored the first goal at the 22nd-minute mark of the match, but Levante midfielder Victor Camarasa was able to level it in the second half to escape with a point against Víctor Sánchez's team.

Meanwhile, Celta Vigo suffered an embarrassing 1-5 loss to streaking squad Valencia at the Estadio Municipal de Balaídos on November 7th to settle at the fourth spot in the league table, as reported by ESPN.

Os Celestes team captain Augusto Fernández was the only Celtic who scored a goal while they allowed two Valencia players, Paco Alcácer and Dani Parejo, to net doubles en route to the lopsided defeat.

Eduardo Berizzo's boys will look to bounce back from the humiliating setback against Deportivo and they are predicted to do so but not after a tough battle with Los Turcos.

The prediction is a close 1-0 decision for Celta Vigo.

Deportivo La Coruna starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lux; Laure, Arribas, Sidnei, Navarro; Borges, Mosquera; Fede, Fajr, Gutierrez; Lucas

Celta Vigo starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Alvarez; Mallo, Gomez, Fontas, Jonny; Wass, Fernandez, Bergara; Orellana, Aspas, Nolito
